Koen Broucke is painting “My Guernica” in the 12th-century refectory of St. Bavo's Abbey in Ghent (Belgium), a contemporary variation on Pablo Picasso's “Guernica”, a work of art in which anger, disbelief and hope come together. You can follow the work in progress here. The completed work can be viewed at St Peter's Abbey from 2 April to 16 August 2026.
